I was appointed in 2001 as Stenotypist. There was no seat of APS available for promotion. So I have applied through other Govt. Department for the Post of APS in 2013. Fpsc has appointment me in 2016 as Assistant Private Secretary BS-16. Now in this Ministry Seat of Private Secretary (BS-17) is available here which is 100% by promotion. But Now i am Senior most APS. But the authorities demanded me that your length of Service as APS for the promotion is not sufficient for PS. your have to rendered 5 years as APS then you will be eligible for promotion.

I am stenographer (Selection Grade BS-15) Punjab Agriculture Deparment, Sheikhopura.The Central Government as well as Government of the Punjab have upgraded all the stenographers but the selection grade stenographers have been deprived from the upgradation which is unjustified. I have been serving the department since the last 30 years and have reached to the superannuation. In the 30 years service only Selection Grade was granted during the year 1988. I request to Prime Minister, Chief Justice of Supreme Court as well as Chief Minister Punjab to upgrade all selection grade stenographers also. Well will be highly oblige and will pray for your excellent sympathy.

Thank you for immediate response, I shall be highly beholden if you guide me whether I should file an appeal to the appointing authority or administrative department for the upgradation. kindly guide me so that I may also be able to get upgraded.

I am I m working in an organization which is attached department of Federal Govt and comes under Ministry of Defence. Our pay slips come through CNA and retirement and all benefits are from AGPR. I am working here since 1 December 1998 as Stenographer in BPS-15, after this upgradation, what is the correct procedure of our Pay Fixation from 15 to 16 and what are the effects on our salaries other than Basic Pay Scales, Yearly increment and Conveyance Allowance.

What about the Medical Allowance if I was having Basic Pay of 7,850/- in June 2007. What will be the effect on my Medical Allowance. In 2008 Medical Allowance were frozen @ 15% of Basic Pay of 2008.. What will be effect on mine...... according to the letter mentioned below:

OK , Madam thanks for the reply, but when their is clear cut mention that no change in the pay scale of Seno (Selection Grade), I think my department can do nothing in this regard. Anyhow, can you tell me what had happened with the Assistants(Selection Grade) when the post of Assistant was up graded?????

Assalam o Alaikum,
It is very good news. I congratulate all the PAs and Stenographers. ULtimmatley they receive their rights. But one thing is very confusing. Why the Selection Grade Stenographers have been ignored?
